WARREN — A Warren man pleaded guilty to a three-count revised indictment dealing with trafficking and possession of cocaine, and possession of a handgun.

Kareem Dowell, 34, of Hamilton Street SW, on Tuesday received a nine-month prison sentence from Trumbull County Common Pleas Judge Andrew D. Logan, according to terms of a plea deal arrangement Dowell’s lawyer made with prosecutors.

The case involved a drug investigation by the TAG anti-drug task force of the county sheriff’s office.

Dowell also pleaded guilty to charge that prohibited him from possessing a firearm because he was convicted of a felony in Trumbull County court in 2013. He also agreed to forfeit $2,705 in cash and the .38-caliber Smith & Wesson that was seized by TAG agents during a raid of his home in the spring of 2020.

Prosecutors said Dowell was guilty of selling 0.28 grams of cocaine to a confidential informant working with the task force. The subsequent search of the home turned up more substances that later tested positive for cocaine.

Dowell will get credit for time already served in Trumbull County jail. He has been incarcerated since November, records show.

In another drug case, Arbie Murray, 26, of Youngstown Warren Road, Niles, pleaded guilty to two counts dealing with aggravated trafficking in methamphetamine and possession of a fentanyl-related compound.

Murray will be sentenced by Logan after he undergoes a background investigation conducted by probation officers. Prosecutors said they have jointly recommended — with Murray’s lawyer Kristen Maxwell — that the defendant serve a 12-month prison term.

In September, Murray was indicted on six counts dealing with a June 25, 2022, Warren police chase of a suspicious vehicle. Murray had jumped out of the vehicle and ran before he was apprehended, reports show. A subsequent search of the vehicle showed various amounts of meth as well as fentanyl-related compounds, prosecutors said.

Murray’s bond was continued until his sentencing hearing. Logan warned him not to get into further trouble while released or else he would be looking at 30 months in prison.

In other cases handled by Logan on Tuesday:

l Melissa Boudekkes, 41, of Tod Avenue NW, Warren, pleaded guilty to a fourth-degree receiving stolen property charge. The judge sentenced Boudekkes to his drug court docket in which she has a chance to have that conviction expunged if she remains drug-free for a period of time. First, the judge ordered her to go to the Northeast Ohio Community Alternative Program for rehab. The charge stems from a July 8, 2022, investigation of a stolen vehicle found in Boudekkes’ driveway by Warren Township police, prosecutors said;

l Damien S. Stanley, 36, of South Raccoon Road, Austintown, pleaded guilty to a fifth-degree obstructing justice charge. Logan will sentence Stanley after he undergoes a background investigation by probation officers. If the investigation goes well for the defendant, prosecutors said a recommendation of probation would be given to the judge. The case involved an April, 2022, incident where Warren police investigated an altercation involving a female driver. Prosecutors said Stanley tried to conceal evidence in that investigation;

l John G. Jones, 32, of Stoddard Hayes Road, Johnston, pleaded guilty to a charge of improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle. Johns could face a maximum 18-month prison term, but he will be sentenced after he undergoes a background investigation. The case involved an Aug. 2, 2022, incident in which Howland police were called to the Giant Eagle parking lot to investigate a driver passed out behind the wheel. Upon a search of the vehicle, police found a firearm in the center console, the report states. Jones remained free after posting bond in the case;

l Dylan L. Miles, 28, of Ivy Hill Circle, Bazetta, pleaded guilty to a charge of possession of a fentanyl-related compound. Miles was accepted as a “treatment in lieu of conviction” candidate in which he must remain drug-free for a period determined by the probation department. This program is zero tolerance which means if Miles tests positive for drugs just once, he could face a six- to 12-month prison term. If he succeeds, his case is expunged. The charges stem from an April 28, 2020, incident investigated by Champion police who found a car in the ditch and the driver slumped over the wheel. The driver, identified as Miles, was administered the anti-opioid drug NARCAN and officers found substances on him that later tested positive for 0.10 gram of fentanyl, prosecutors said.
